In an interview with NBC Sports following the 60m event in Glasgow, Christian Coleman opined that he is the "best ever" in the category.

"I know I've got a lot to do outdoors, but as far as the 60m goes, I feel like I'm the best ever, and I wanted to come out here and show that," he said.
"This is my event. I think I am the greatest 60m runner, 100 per cent. But the exciting part is that I feel like my ceiling is so much higher," he added.

The Atlanta sprinter also shared his enthusiasm for the upcoming Paris Olympics.

"I wanted to come out here and put on a show. It's going to give me tremendous momentum going into Paris 2024," he said.
"I am excited. It is 2024 and I am stepping into my prime mentally, physically and spirtually. I am going to have on my A-game and I feel confident I will be there (at the Olympics)," he added.
